Your Type
You're constantly reading the room, striving to wear a mask and say what everyone wants to hear, terrified your true self will disappoint them. This overly accommodating people-pleasing behavior actually stems from a deep inner desire for validation combined with a firm belief that "the real me isn't worthy of being loved"; thus you'd rather play the perfect good employee than risk being disliked. But living with a mask makes you feel all the validation isn't actually for you. Try expressing your true opinion on a small matter once; you'll find that the validation that stays because of your authenticity is the kind that holds weight.
